Description

If you want to learn how to backpack in a low-pressure environment, his trip is for you! We will take a short hike into our backcountry campsite on the first day. Your trip leaders will teach you how to pack and fit a backpack, setup camp, and prepare meals in the backcountry! We will also explore Colorado Bend State Park, where you'll get to see Gorman Falls, a 70 foot cascading, spring-fed waterfall hidden in the Hill Country landscape. This area is bursting with natural springs, bluffs, and beautiful views along the river for plenty of fun in the sun!

No prior experience is needed to enjoy and explore these amazing places!
